I can understand that you feel this way.

You've raised this conversation.

You're entitled to raise the conversation.

But if your mum has then said, no, I don't want to do that, who are you to tell her otherwise?

Mm-hmm.

I think the unfortunate thing is, is that if your needs have all been met, you know, you were raised with everything that you needed.

Your parents provided you a roof over your head and food.

Maybe they helped with school.

I don't know, whatever.

If they met all of your needs, that's kind of where their obligations end.

And I guess that's a whole bigger conversation around, well, when you bring a child into the world, what are your responsibilities?

But

But they've done their job and I guess they are going above and beyond for your sibling and I fully acknowledge that that would be really frustrating to observe and it kind of sucks because you're like, well, I would use that money too, but you're not entitled to it.

And it is...

It feels like kind of a jerk move to say, hey, mum, when you die, I want more of your money than my sibling.

It just feels gross.

Like I don't like it.

Totally.

It makes me very uncomfortable.

I agree.
